Yoshino Kaigan Beach — Attraction in Miyakojima

The best beach I ever visited, in the terms of experience and beauty. But all the rest is a little complicated. Parking, shower and changing room are uphill. And shuttle-van brings you downhill and then back.

If you come to serf, you may park downhill (if space available), and there is fresh water to wash your board.

Snorkeling is wonderful here. Everything is literally right after you step in the water. A lot of coral formations and thousands of fishes. But watch the tide schedule.

The beach itself is mainly white sandy with many fragments of dead corals. Because of downhill / uphill story, not many people coming here.

I got one of the 10 or so, free car parking spaces, otherwise it's a long walk up the hill...

Beach with lot of potential, but full of trash and ran by a useless parking company. Never come with your kids here, they could get infected stepping on the glasses/cans. There are hundreds of nice beaches nearby that you can see the same kind of nature and way less trash.

I came here many times, but last time we came in a cloudy/rainy day and there was no one, so we went all the way down and found free parking. The parking guy came all the way down with his bus and his pride to tell us, in a threatening way, that parking downhill is not allowed. We checked this with the local authorities and parking downhill is allowed, so please ignore them if they try to get...
